  1. Zero Faith

    Another question for atheists...

    Hope, that was a refreshing question that carried none of the holier-than-thou rhetoric I've come to expect from Christians asking that question. That's why your Karma's shooting up :) There are a number of answers to your original question from my point of view: 1) Meaning is overrated. I...

    Christianity = Poision

    Though I agree with you wholeheartedly, I think you need to support statements like that. Keep in mind this is a debate forum, and while I think you might be capable of presenting some stimulating points, you do need to define them. Proof-reading your posts will lend you a bit more credibility...

    The Tasteless Man

    Exerpted from two posts, the claims of Paraprakrti that I disagree with: * This reality you know is a perverted reflection. * No particular thing here ever lasts as that thing and has no real definition itself * God is the Energetic from which the energy emanates. * God is the Supreme...

    from nothing to something

    Paraprakrti Well, I understand that nothing exists before the big bang in relation to the modern universe. I am glad to see that we can agree that something, in some context, did exist before that. Nope, you're wrong. Why? Because TIME ITSELF was created at the moment of the Big Bang. How...

    Pornography

    I just don't understand the attraction when you have love in your life......... ????????? Nonsense. For us to believe that, you'd have us think you must be completely oblivious to desires of the flesh -- desires hardwired into our brains by millions of years of evolution. Perhaps you're one...

    Pornography

    Pornography is taken far too seriously by our society; lust has been demonized into something to feel shameful over. It's been transformed into love's dirty, evil twin. The fact of the matter is that orgasms and masturbation are fun, not too time consuming, inexpensive sources of fleeting...

    Creationism: Science or Pseudoscience?

    The fundamental problem with pseudoscience is that it does not follow the scientific method. This article describes the scientific method in some detail; I've outlined the main steps below: 1. Observe some aspect of the universe. 2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that...

    The Tasteless Man

    Perhaps also it is that we have faith that such evidence is sufficient in the first place. You are correct. Faith in the five proven senses is logically valid -- it can be demonstrated. That's the catch. You want faith in God to be valid, demonstrate how this faith can be used to predict...

    Evolution is Not Progress

    My "Christian" perspective is that there are Roman Catholics who are SAVED true Christians (little Christs); however, they aren't SAVED because they are Roman Catholics nor because they believe that the ROMAN CATHOLIC church is the "original" Church or they hold that this pope is one of a line...

    God is not in the Big Bang

    These theories are probably just a fad, soon to be shelved. Mmm, I disagree with you there. String theory has been around for awhile; it's a robust theory that continues to advance and consolidate previously unconnected ideas. I think it's on the right track but, like Bohr's atom, will see...

    from nothing to something

    Paraprakrti: I believe I am beginning to see the heart of your argument (which escaped me before). You're trying to grasp what 'nothing' means; the very fact that we can refer to it implies that it is, in fact, 'something'; that true, absolute nothing can't possibly exist, because if it...

    Entropy contradict Evolution

    Okay, but we're talking about protocells and primitive neander-proteins without genes. These molecules can evolve, so, if generation of diversity is mandatory for evolution, can you point to where generation of diversity is involved in terms of this molecular evolution?

    Entropy contradict Evolution

    Pah: I'm discussing how these elements could be present before the existence of DNA, in the evolution of even more primitive molecules that mimic life (in terms of reproduction and random mutation). Thus, neither DNA nor genes are involved.

    Entropy contradict Evolution

    I think I'm beginning to get it. :) Please tell me if this is correct: In the matter of a replicating molecule, generation of diversity is represented by the molecules creating copies of themselves; the diversity is in the random mutations occuring from one generation to the next.

    Free Will and Physics

    Mr. Sprinkles: The many worlds theory of quantum physics might explain what those physicists were saying could be 'hidden causes'; namely, the infinite possible outcomes of a quantum event spawn infinite dimensions, and those dimensions interact with each other to influence the event in our...

    Free Will and Physics

    Quantum events are literally and absolutely random, by definition and to a mathematical certainty. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is inviolate, and its application absolutely necessitates this randomness. If quantum events were patterned, the uncertainty principle would break down and...

    The Tasteless Man

    I'd just hand someone two cups of tea and ask them to tell me which one has sugar in it :)

    from nothing to something

    1) I have conceded that there may (and probably does) exist forces and sources of energy that we, currently, cannot perceive. Science has presented hypotheses that demonstrate the Big Bang could have occurred on its own, without requiring a cause. That's the true crux of the matter. Whether or...

    Entropy contradict Evolution

    Incorrect. Evolution also requires the generation of diversity, a random process as well as a 'culling' of the fittest. I'm not an evolutionary theorist, so I may well be out of my league here. Generation of diversity is a product of survival of the fittest, not an independent entity, I would...

    The Exorcist.

    if everyone started with a clean slate, why are some of my firneds born to richer parents? why are some people born in countries with better opportunities? how am i born with perfect body, no missing toes or organs? I apologize -- I was unclear in my argument. I was not claiming that...
